CTI vessels have been chartered for deployment of oceanographic equipment. In this case, the quick connect vibracore sampler is stored allowing full operational deck space for deployment of equipment using the bow-mounted A frame. Clearance to the deck of up to 12 feet (4 meters) is possible. Lifting capacity varies from 1000 lbs. (450kg) to 1500 lbs. (675 kg) depending on the vessel.
Both CTI vessels offer large uncluttered deck space with a stern mounted heated wheel houses. The 30’ vessel (Miscou Banks) offers a head, fresh water, microwave and fresh coffee!
